State-based Tote pools across Australia have been combined into a single national Tote ('One Pool'), meaning there is now only one set of Tote dividends nationwide.
This industry-wide change may affect the prices available and how some Tote bets are settled. Tote (TO) now represents the combined national Tote ('One Pool'), while Tote+ (TO+) returns the better of the Tote dividend and Starting Price (SP).
LEADING AGILITY (12) sets the standard after a strong second at this track when resuming, beaten just under two lengths distance is the most persuasive among the main chances. LUCKY RIVER (7) resumes after eight months off and brings solid Australian BM72 form, including a Wyong fourth when near the top of an open market. His latest trial was super and Avdulla sticks from the heats. Can play a leading role. ROYAL BLITZ (6) also resumes and has more upside than most, with two wins and two placings from six starts and Purton taking the ride. PEGAS (8) was fourth at this track first-up after starting big odds and had been beaten only a nose at this venue two runs back, so barrier one and the apprentice claim keep him firmly in the mix.
